Yappy Pets Building in Singapore

Yappy Pets Sets Its Sights on Internationalisation

What began as a pet food distributor now has 16 brands of pet food and accessories in its portfolio, including Nurture Pro, earthmade by Boneve, Loveabowl, Daily Delight, Ziwi Peak, Inaba Ciao, and Oxbow Animal Health. Our products are available in countries such as China, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and India – and we have no plans of slowing down.

Welcome to Yappy Pets, where your pets’ health and happiness are top of mind. Founded in Singapore by Mr Yap Seng Teck in 1994, Yappy Pets provides consumers with the best pet supplies in the market today. Is your furry pal a picky eater? Does your feline friend need environmentally-friendly cat litter? Look no further than Yappy Pets for solutions.

Jasmine Tan, our General Manager, was interviewed by the Singapore Business Federation on the success of the company. Tan shared that Yappy Pets begins by looking at the market readiness of a brand. “Meeting market demand and introducing brands and products at the right time is critical for us. Therefore, data analytics is very important, and we will usually conduct surveys and market trend spotting to identify relevant products that can fill the current gaps in the market.” From there, the company identifies the unique characteristics of each market and tailors its strategies. “Pet owners from certain markets like South Korea and Japan tend to have smaller dogs, compared to, those in Indonesia and the Philippines. So, for the smaller breeds, we will offer products that come in smaller packaging sizes. For example, instead of a four-pounder bag, we would package it as a 300-gram bag for these smaller dogs.”

The company is looking to enter the global market, with the United States as its first target. “The channels in the US are very different, and the way they do marketing is also very different. So, it is really a whole new game for us, and we will have to adapt to the preferences of the American pet owners.” Tan emphasized that the scale of the US market is unlike Asia’s – agents, wholesalers, independent retailers and other stakeholders are part of the picture. In Singapore, Yappy Pets works mainly with distributors and retailers.

Tan disclosed that understanding the market and finding the right partners are the two biggest challenges when it comes to internationalisation. Exploring networks and channels and conducting an analysis of the brands that are already represented are crucial. “There are many areas that you need help with, such as who to work with, how to enter the market, and what to do when it comes to government rules and regulations.” Still, Tan is not deterred. “We understand that different markets have unique characteristics. For example, in South Korea and China, e-commerce is very advanced and matured compared to our market. So, our market penetration strategy is tailored to each market.”

According to a case study by the SBF, part of Yappy Pets’ success is due to the fact that it “focused on brand advertising, cross-brand selling, and adding value to its products and services by offering online-exclusive merchandise.”[1]

The company also recognised that “digitalising its internal processes had enabled them to maximise the efficiency of its manpower resources and improve communications with its partners and distributors across various offshore markets.”[2]

Tan told the SBF that it is important “to have the mindset of ‘doing everything with an open mind’ and to believe that the company will grow because of the processes put in place.”[3] With all the strategies in order, Yappy Pets is ready to go global.

Yappy Pets Online Tradeshow: Six Brands Suited for Your Pets’ Needs

“What is the best food product for my pet?” The abundance of pet food brands in the market today certainly does not help in answering what seems to be the most-asked question of fur parents. The question of what you feed your cat or dog should take into account its age, size, breed, and any health issues your pet may have. But none of that will matter if he or she doesn’t like the way the food tastes. Luckily, you can rely on trusted manufacturing companies like Yappy Pets Pte. Ltd. to provide the top, most-trusted brands that can suit your furry friends’ needs – from taste and nutritional benefits to pricing and overall brand reputation.

A manufacturing company based in Singapore, Yappy Pets houses a wide-range of in-house and distributor brands that produce only the best products for your furry pets.

As a fur parent, do you honestly read the ingredients in your pet food? Do you honestly understand what the ingredients are? Nowadays, more and more pet owners are doing the research and deciding for themselves if the nutritional content and source of ingredients of their pet food meet their standards.

In a collaboration with Alibaba last October, Yappy Pet’s In-house nutritionist Amy Wong presented six pet food brands that either have a current following in the market or a promising sales path in the pet food industry.

This is also the first product to source the very delicious and exotic Snow-crab.

6. Earthmade

Food Range: 3 Dog Dry Food Range (Mackerel, Beef, Lamb) and 3 Cat Dry Food Range (Beef, Mackerel, Chicken), Air-dried Dog Treats, Upcoming Products: Wet Canned Dog Food and Freeze-Dried Dog and Cat Food
Highlight ingredients: Manuka honey, Rosehip, Kiwi, Glucosamine and Chondroitin

If you base your purchase of pet food on the product’s packaging, you will be sorry to easily dismiss Earthmade by Boneve. It comes in a plain, brown, paper bag-like packaging, but this eco-friendly material speaks about the goodness of New Zealand-manufactured products. Earthmade boasts an all-natural goodness in a ‘farm-to-bowl’ style with high-quality meat sourced from the pristine landscape of New Zealand, where livestock roam cage-free and stress-free.

If you ever wonder where exactly the meat that goes into your pet’s bowl comes from, then Earthmade’s transparency will impress you. Each bag of Earthmade comes with a batch code—a digital signature that allows it to be traced right back to its New Zealand source. Amy tells us how the strict government regulations in New Zealand compel food businesses to follow sustainability guidelines. From fishing and farming livestock to the preparation and packaging process of these products, all must leave only a certain number of carbon footprint. This is also why Earthmade advocates for air-dried treats, which are healthier for pets compared to dehydrated treats. Air-drying is a technique that makes it easy for pets to digest a high-protein treat and absorb the nutrients they need from raw meat without the mess and fuss. This is certainly more sustainable – not only for businesses but for your pets’ health as well. According to Amy, these air-dried treats are perfect rewards to training dogs as they can easily be broken into pieces with your hand.

Part of Earthmade goodness are ingredients unique to New Zealand pastures. Each Earthmade product is packed with Manuka honey, from the Manuka tree which is native in the country. It is filled with long-lasting antiseptic, antibiotic, antiviral and antifungal properties that help enhance your pet’s gut and intestinal health. Your pets will also get the benefits of Rosehip, which include Vitamin C and a host of amazing antioxidants that support hip and joint health. Lastly, the famous New Zealand Kiwi fruit contains high Vitamin C and a unique fat-free vitamin E that support the immune system, as well as fiber that helps with the expulsion of hairballs among your pets. With Earthmade, you can give your pets a tasty diet that is both nutritionist- and nature-approved!

1. Our ongoing support for VFA

Giving Back with Voices for Animals (VFA)

Since 2013, Yappy Pets has been a strong supporter and partner of VFA. Focussed on the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of retired breeding dogs, VFA receives monthly sponsorships of Nurture Pro Original from Yappy Pets which helps to sustain their ever-growing canine population. We have also been sponsoring adoption kits containing Nurture Pro Original dry food for those who successfully adopt a dog from VFA.

The company has also been actively participating in the shelter’s adoption drives and roadshows ever since, with spots of collaborations for special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas. During these events, such as A Furry Christmas 2016, Yappy Pets would have a booth set up mainly for educating visitors on the goodness of Nurture Pro Original and to give out goodie bags.

In 2018, Yappy Pets’ owners, Mr Yap Seng Teck and Ms Tiffany Wang participated in VFA’s Fundraising Dinner. The couple gave their support for the shelter by bidding on handmade items during the dinner to raise funds. They successfully bid for a LOVE portrait that cost $1,000, the amount of which was donated to VFA.
